If you run it to the intake pipe, then you would have some vacuum. A decent sized turbo can suck your hand in from a couple feet away.
Yeah, I want to know how you know this!
And I'd like to add that I was feeling pretty saucy when I wrote my last comment. I applaud someone for doing their own work, but I was turned off by the backlash as noted by others. This setup needs no further analyzation by myself, but I think that as long as you prevent pressure from going into the crankcase, then that's a good thing.

I run my valve cover pcv line to a catch can and then from the catch can straight down open to the ground. Cars behind me gets a nice spray when I downshift.... LoL!
Every 6 months or so the can fills up and in it is sluggy water oil mixture I assume is moisture condensation with a little oil.

Iceminion, can you explain to me how this setup actually works? You're taking two pressurized sources (when at WOT), the crankcase and the intake manifold (a1 on TB), and then hooking them to a vaccum source. Why can't you just run the vent line right to the vaccum source (like stock)? I don't see how the two pressure sources merging together make evacuation any better.

Somebody reved an Integra at idle with a 60-1 turbo on it and it just about took out a friend of mine's hand quite a few years back. His hand hit the compressor inlet in a way that no fingers went in. I remember a GVR4 guy getting some finger chopped up a few years too.

Normally you go pre-turbo for a vacuum source for a breather.
So what about a GM MAF equipped car in suck through configuration. Would your route the vent side line to the intake pipe AFTER the MAF, before the throttle body?

If you guys plan to run your pcv lines to the intake of your turbo you better have a nicely designed baffled catch can. A unbaffled one will let a decent amount of wet crap get through and for sure within a few weeks go check your turbo intake inlet and intercooler piping and you won't be very happy at all.

I remember there was a thread about the GVR4 guy with pictures. Pretty nasty.
Also Ice Minion i think you have the new "Sandy Vagina" Subname.

We have used these catch cans before. http://www.saikoumichi.com/OCC_explanation.htm

I am going to lightly pack steel wool in my eBay catch can.
